Pluto Hunting

Mid-2010 was a hard time for Pluto hunters as Pluto wandered across Sagittarius and the central Milky Way, most of the time obscured by the multitude of stars in the background. Relief was to be had when Pluto passed in front of Bernard 92, however. The dark nebula allowed Pluto to be spotted, and allowed Ray Gralak to snap this amazing image from New Mexico. (x)
